[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most growth will come in WJ/Woodward area so I am happy to see they are leaving some space. Having said that i don't want any school to be overcrowded when we have space in WJ and Woodward. Some adjustment can be made to change zones. May be 102--103% can fly if students population is not expected to go up but 107% is too much.

A lot of the capacity numbers are very arbitrary, for example, it takes into a certain number of kids per classroom and assumes a certain percentage of the day at classroom is being utilized, special ed classrooms often have ridiculously low numbers. All in all, I don’t think you can really look at the numbers and necessarily say at school is overcrowded significantly or not you really need to see the actual experience. For example, does a school have 10 portable classrooms if so, probably overcrowded. Conversely, does the school show 115% utilization but only have under five portables if so that’s probably exaggerated. Also things like class size, number of lunch periods etc. are all important indicators[/quote]
